Feeling like getting away from the grayness of Paris? Head to Alsace, without even leaving Paris! Gastronomy, drinks, walks... We can find little pieces of this beautiful region scattered throughout the capital. Come, we'll take you on a 100% Alsatian adventure.

She is beautiful, you eat incredibly well... L'Alsace is, objectively, the cutest and most comforting region. Located just 1 hour and 45 minutes by train from Paris, we willingly go there for a weekend, especially now, with the wonderful Christmas markets in Strasbourg and Colmar. But we understand, it can be a bit complicated to find the time to escape for a few hours. Don't panic, the capital is full of typical Alsatian places that will make you feel like you're traveling just a few steps from your home. Now, let's taste a "Flammekueche" at Schmoutz. Dear friends from Île-de-France, you're too cute wanting to use Alsatian words, but know that only non-Alsatians use the term "Flammekueche".erme « Flammekueche ». Even though the dialect is still frequently spoken in Alsace, we talk about tartes flambées. And precisely, we go to Schmoutz in the 11th arrondissement to delight ourselves with a succulent tarte flambée that is both crispy and melty, cooked in a wood-fired oven. To stay in the local atmosphere, we can only recommend the traditional one or the one with melted munster cheese. If you have a sweet tooth, we suggest the apple-cinnamon flambe with calvados, promised, it's a true delight! E Güeter (enjoy your meal)!

Let's go for a walk in little Alsace in the 13th arrondissement

Nothing is better to digest our tarte flambées than a walk! Let's head to Little Alsace, in the Butte-aux-Cailles neighborhood, in the 13th arrondissement. Like a small countryside in the heart of the city, this part of the capital almost makes us believe that we are strolling through the streets of one of the many unpronounceable Alsatian villages. These 40 typical half-timbered houses from the east of France hide behind the blue gate of 10, rue Daviel.
